How to create a pseudo-3d map

I looked up map F-Zero to see what you mean, but what is mode 7?

Mode 7 is a graphics mode on the Super NES video game console that allows a background layer to be rotated and scaled on a scanline-by-scanline basis to create many different effects.[1] The most famous of these effects is the application of a perspective effect on a background layer by scaling and rotating the background layer in this manner. This transforms the background layer into a two-dimensional horizontal texture-mapped plane that trades height for depth. Thus, an impression of three-dimensional graphics is achieved.

Mode 7 was one of Nintendo's prominent selling points for the Super NES platform in publications such as Nintendo Power and Super NES Player's Guide[2].[citation needed] Similar faux 3D techniques have been presented on a few 2D systems other than the Super NES, in select peripherals and games.
